...splendidly he pitches, Tudor seems to have difficulty enjoying it. While Landrum kept singing, "Boy, you should have seen the dugout vibrating; something was in the Cards," Tudor kept yawning, "It's just another ball game." After Royals Lefthander Danny Jackson held St. Louis off in the 6-1 fifth game, when a close call at the plate caused Manager Whitey Herzog to mutter a few favorite epithets, the treat of a Tudor-Saberhagen showdown in a seventh game began to come into focus. All that required was a happier destiny for old Leibrandt in Game 6: a preposterous ninth...

After the program, the Philippine leader stated his preference for Jan. 17 balloting, which would also mark the fifth anniversary of the dissolution of the 1972 martial-law proclamation that began his era of authoritarian rule. Two days later, despite earlier denials, he declared that the balloting would include the vice-presidential contest, reactivating an office that Marcos has kept vacant since 1973 to discourage presidential ambitions among...
...mutual reduction in nuclear arms a "very important" summit goal, but only 31% thought it likely to happen. More than three-quarters of the survey respondents put a high priority on the two superpowers agreeing to stop interfering in the affairs of Nicaragua and Afghanistan, yet less than one-fifth of them thought such restraint likely to be achieved...
